                <p>B. You agree not to alter or modify any part of the Website.</p>
                <p>
                    C. You agree not to access User Submissions (defined below) or Wattpad.com Content through any technology 
                    or means other than the Website itself.
                </p>
                <p>
                    D. You agree not to use the Website for any commercial use, without the prior written authorization of 
                    Wattpad.com. Prohibited commercial uses include any of the following actions taken without Wattpad.com's express
                    approval:
                    <br/>* sale of access to the Website or its related services on another website;
                    <br/>* use of the Website or its related services for the primary purpose of gaining advertising or subscription
                           revenue;

                           of specific User Submissions or Wattpad.com content;
                    <br/>* and any use of the Website or its related services that Wattpad.com finds, in its sole discretion,

                           market for Wattpad.com, Wattpad.com content, or its User Submissions. 
                </p>

                    "offline readers," that accesses the Website in a manner that sends more request messages to the Wattpad.com 
                    servers in a given period of time than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using a conventional
                    on-line web browser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Wattpad.com grants the operators of public search engines
                    permission to use spiders to copy materials from the site for the sole purpose of and solely to the extent 
                    necessary for creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials, but not caches or archives of 
                    such materials. Wattpad.com reserves the right to revoke these exceptions either generally or in specific cases.
                    You agree not to collect or harvest any personally identifiable information, including account names, from the Website,
                    nor to use the communication systems provided by the Website (e.g. comments, email) for any commercial solicitation 
                    purposes. You agree not to solicit, for commercial purposes, any users of the Website with respect to their User 
                    Submissions.
                </p>
                <p>

                    Wattpad.com Community Guidelines, and all applicable local, national, and international laws and regulations.
                </p>
